House Republicans apparently committing felonies

Not sure if this was posted, and I saw it on Daily Kos. This is actually something DH brought up when the FBI notes were leaked because he's very knowledgeable in classified vs non.  Totally left leaning article.  


After a year-plus effort on the part of Republican leaders in the House of Representatives to tell the American public on the false claim that Hillary Clinton somehow leaked classified information via her emails, the entire faux-controversy may have just become very real. But as it turns out, it’s the House Republicans who appears to have just leaked classified information themselves in an overzealous attempt to paint Hillary. In fact the Clinton campaign is calling them out on it directly tonight.







After the Director of the FBI fully exonerated Hillary Clinton and made clear that she broke no laws and told no lies, House Republicans took the extraordinary step of demanding copies if the FBI’s notes from its interview with Clinton. That request was granted, and almost immediately, information from those notes began leaking to the media. The trouble: every word of those notes is, by definition, classified information.



Jennifer Palmieri, the Communications Director for the Hillary Clinton campaign, tweeted this evening that she “Would remind all that this material is classified. So this is leaking of classified material.” Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta added that he’s “Already hearing from people who have been contacted by reporters with knowledge of the content of their interviews in FBI 302’s.”



Palmieri went on to point out that not only are House Republicans leaking classified information, they’re likely releasing bits and pieces of it out of context in the hope of painting a different picture of Hillary Clinton’s testimony than what actually transpired. So not only is Paul Ryan’s crew committing imprisonable felonies as we speak, they may be doing it in an intentionally dishonest manner on top of it.







As a reminder, the FBI confirmed once and for all that Hillary Clinton never leaked classified information of any kind, told no lies, and broke no laws. It turns out the only ones breaking laws by leaking classified information are the Republicans trying to take her down.

An election where the truth is stranger than fiction.

This really yanks my chain. In this case, you have clear intent to distribute classified material. With HRC, it seems that any distribution of classified information was inadvertent. Sure, possibly negligent but not intentional. INTENT matters folks.

I am so, so sick of republican hypocrisy.
